Sir Paul attended the ceremony in front of the Capitol Records building in Los Angeles where Neil Young introduced him to a crowd of screaming fans.

As his star was revealed, Macca said: ‘Way back in history, in Liverpool when we were kids and we were listening to Buddy Holly and all the rock ‘n’ roll greats, I would have never thought that the day would come when I’d be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

‘That was like an impossible thing to happen – but here we are today and it’s happening.’

In a touching tribute to his fellow former Beatles, a happy McCartney added: ‘I certainly couldn’t have done it without three boys, so I want to say thanks to those guys – John, George and Ringo.’
